Christian nationalists — as I’ve written about before [here, here, and here] — deserve credit where credit is due. Their critiques of the radical left are often correct. They rightly oppose abortion, LGBTQ ideology, big pharma, abuse in foreign relations and spending, and unchecked mass migration. Their emphasis on a ‘moral and religious’ society is on-point (at least in word). Their outrage at the widespread corruption of the Biden administration (among decades of outright federal betrayal) is well-founded. They’re also largely justified in calling out the rot within Evangelical circles — particularly the compromised leadership of “Big Eva,”where progressive theology and politics have infiltrated the Church. Their rejection of WEF-style globalism is prudent, as well.

But they risk swinging the pendulum too far — replacing one form of tyranny with another and building a system that threatens individual liberty and freedom of conscience — the very foundation of the American experiment — under the guise of societal stability, structure, safety, power, and 'holy' tradition.
